The Static Performance of the MX902 Satellite Navigation Equipment Manufactured by the Magnavox Corporation, USA.

Abstract

The report contains details of an investigation into the accuracy and error patterns obtained with the satellite navigation equipment, MX902, produced by the Magnavox company of the United States. The readings were statistically analysed and found to be in good agreement with the manufacturer's predicted performance. The readings were also studied with a view to finding a relationship between positional error and any of the other calculated variables such as offset frequency and number of iterations: no such relationship was found.
